Lament for Gandalf

The Lament for Gandalf referred to any of the elvish songs sung in lamentation for Gandalf in Lothlórien. The only excerpt from these songs is "Mithrandir, Mithrandir, O Pilgrim Grey!".

This was expanded and set to music by Philippa Boyens and Howard Shore, respectively, for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. It was sung in the said film by Elizabeth Fraser in the track Lothlórien. Notable about this song is that it assumes that the elves of Lothlórien were aware that Gandalf was an incarnate Maia. This is debatable. As well, the lyrics ask "What drove you to leave/That which you loved?". This suggests that Gandalf was well aware that he would fall in Moria. Other debatable verses include the claims that Gandalf was the wisest of the Maiar, and that with him the Flame of Anor would leave the world (assuming that it and he were one, or he was the only wielder of the Flame).

Translation

Mithrandir, Mithrandir O Pilgrim GreyNo more will you wander the green fields of this earthYour journey has ended in darkness.The bonds cut, the spirit brokenThe Flame of Anor has left this WorldA great light, has gone out.
